Many companies use late summer bancha green tea to make hojicha, but our Hojicha is made using a higher grade of Kukicha from earlier harvests. We use a high-temperature roasting process to turn this tea a rich toasty brown, bringing out a rich aroma and flavor. Sugimoto's favorite Hojicha has a natural sweetness and a body-warming, roasted aroma, making this is a lovely, very low-caffeine evening treat that can be steeped multiple times.

Company History:

The history of Sugimoto Tea Company starts with Zenichi Sugimoto. In 1946, Shizuoka and the rest of Japan was just at the start of a long road to post-war recovery. Looking for the best way to help his family and his community, Zenichi decided to hand-make tea and delivered it to all of his customers by bike. His teas were so well-liked by the locals that soon it was necessary to build a factory to meet the high demands for Sugimoto tea. And so, Sugimoto Seicha was born.
